997 side mirrors on a 996 ????????
Well I guess nobody knows the answer from my previous thread if a 997 side mirrors fit on a 996 body....I saw a pair of 997 mirror on ebay & I decided to buy it on an impulse not knowing whether it'll fit or not....Let me be the first to tell you...HELL NO IT DOESN'T FIT....The mounting holes & connector plug does not lines up right...I wasn't about to let all that $$ go bye-bye so I was determined to make it work...One good thing was that it plugged right in to the oem connector...The mirror moves in a wierd direction but who cares as long as it moves...One of the plug mounting hole need to be bored out & the side trimmed inorder to lowered the plug down..I drilled 2 new holes & enlarged 1 existing hole..This was not an easy task like I thought it would be, but at the end I think it turns out pretty darn good...
here's the final result:

thanks rh888888,
the first side took me about 2 hrs to drill & redrill b/c I could not get the hole to fit right...The 2nd side took me about 1/2 an hr..

Kudos for taking a chance and being an innovator. Looks great. I'm going start calling your car the Franken-Porsche.
